Philosophic Classics: From Plato to Derrida
Philosophic Classics: From Plato to Derrida includes essential writings of the most important philosophers from almost two millennia of Western philosophy. In updating this Seventh Edition editor Forrest E. Baird has continued to follow the same criteria established by the late-Walter Kaufmann when the Philosophic Classics series was first established: (1) to use complete works or where more appropriate complete sections of works (2) in clear translations (3) of texts central to each thinker’s philosophy or widely accepted as part of the canon. To make the works more accessible to students most footnotes treating textual matters (variant readings etc. ) have been omitted and important words from antiquity have been transliterated and put in angle brackets. In addition each thinker is introduced by a brief essay composed of three sections: (1) biographical (a glimpse of the life) (2) philosophical (a résumé of the philosopher’s thought) and (3) bibliographical (suggestions for further reading). A timeline places important philosophers alongside other important thinkers world leaders and major global events. Photos and paintings with explanatory captions illuminate the ideas debates and places discussed in the text. New to the Seventh Edition: New translations: Plato Euthyphro Apology Crito and Phaedo; Aristotle Nichomachean Ethics; Epicurus Letter to Menoeceus and Principal Doctrines; Boethius The Consolation of Philosophy; Anselm Proslogion; Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola Oration on the Dignity of Man; René Descartes Correspondence with Princess Elizabeth; Gottfried Leibniz Monadology; Jean-Jacques Rousseau The Social Contract; Immanuel Kant Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics and Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals Additional material: Porphyry’s Life of Plotinus (in part); Francis Bacon Aphorisms (selections from Novum Organum); Karl Marx Theses on Feuerbach; A. J. Ayer Language Truth and Logic (in part) Updated annotated bibliographies with each bibliography now broken into two sections one for beginning and another for advanced students.
